Mixed Reality (MR) is of increasing interest within technology-driven modern medicine but not yet used in everyday practice. This situation changing rapidly, however, and this paper explores the emergence MR technology importance its utility medical applications. A classification has been obtained by applying an unbiased text mining method to a database 1,403 relevant research papers published over last two decades. The results reveal taxonomy for development during period as well suggesting...
Interventional Radiology procedures (e.g., angioplasty, embolization, stent graft placement) provide minimally invasive therapy to treat a wide range of conditions. These involve the use flexible tipped guidewires advance diagnostic or therapeutic catheters into patient's vascular visceral anatomy. This paper presents real-time physically based hybrid modeling approach simulating guidewire insertions. The long, slender body shaft is simulated using nonlinear elastic Cosserat rods, and...
Digital health interventions may improve different behaviours. However, the rapid proliferation of technological solutions often does not allow for a correct assessment quality tools. This study aims to review and assess available mobile applications (apps) related low back pain.

Markerless Augmented Reality (AR) registration using the standard Homography matrix is unstable, and for image-based it has very low accuracy. In this paper, we present a new method to improve stability accuracy of marker-less in AR. Based on Visual Simultaneous Localization Mapping (V-SLAM) framework, our adds three-dimensional dense cloud processing step state-of-the-art ORB-SLAM order deal with mainly point fusion object recognition. Our algorithm recognition process acts as stabilizer...
Surgical smoke removal algorithms can improve the quality of intra-operative imaging and reduce hazards in image-guided surgery, a highly desirable post-process for many clinical applications. These also enable effective computer vision tasks future robotic surgery. In this article, we present new unsupervised learning framework high-quality pixel-wise detection removal. One well recognized grand challenges using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) medical image processing is to obtain...
Most of surgical simulators employ a linear elastic model to simulate soft tissue material properties due its computational efficiency and the simplicity. However, tissues often have elaborate nonlinear characteristics. prominently, are compliant small strains, but after initial deformations they very resistant further even under large forces. Such characteristic is referred as incompliant which computationally expensive numerically difficult simulate. This paper presents constraint-based...
The potential of augmented reality (AR) technology to assist minimally invasive surgery (MIS) lies in its computational performance and accuracy dealing with challenging MIS scenes. Even the latest hardware software technologies, achieving both real-time accurate information overlay is still a formidable task. In this Letter, authors present novel AR framework for that achieves interactive geometric aware endoscopic stereo views. authors' tracks movement camera simultaneously reconstructs...
Therapy failure in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC, ∼80% occur the liver) remains an overarching challenge. Preclinical studies demonstrated that human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) promotes (CRC) cell survival, but therapies blocking neuregulin-induced canonical HER3 signaling have made little impact clinic. Recent suggest liver microenvironment CRC by activating a neuregulin-independent fashion, thus elucidation of these mechanisms may reveal new strategies for...
This paper proposes a stable and accurate object registration pipeline for markerless augmented reality applications. We present two novel algorithms recognition matching to improve the accuracy from model scene transformation via point cloud fusion. Whilst first algorithm effectively deals with simple scenes few occlusions, second handles cluttered partial occlusions robust real-time matching. The computational framework includes locally supported Gaussian weight function enable repeatable...
Background: Off-the-shelf digital gaming technology has been shown to support the well-being of people with dementia. Yet, date, it is rarely adopted within dementia care practice, particularly homes. Drawing on a descriptive, qualitative approach, this first study that sought explore home practitioners' perceptions barriers and facilitators for using their workplace. Method: Data were collected across eight focus groups in south England total 39 workers. These analysed inductively following...
Virtual reality simulation of crowd movements in urban space and architecture is a powerful complementary verification tool to assist planning, architectural design, safety assessment. This paper describes behaviour based system for modeling high-density human buildings under constrains fire evacuation procedures. Based on model, realistic prototype reactions event including both normal behaviours regarding the regulations against rules such as panic, delay evacuate, was implemented within...
